Revision of the family Carabodidae (Acari, Oribatida) XII. Yoshiobodes camerunensis sp. n. and Rugocepheus costaricensis sp. n.

“…Travé and Vachon 1975; Norton and Behan-Pelletier 2009 (in Krantz and Walter 2009); Fernandez et al 2013). For the setal types those of Evans (1992); ornamentation of cuticular surfaces Murley (1951) (in Evans 1992 op.…”

“…The techniques used in the light and scanning electron microscopic investigations of the examined specimens follow those proposed by Fernandez et al (2013).…”

“…Frontal view: convex in central zone up to cicumgastric furrow ( s.c ); flat from s.c to b.ng , slightly tilted downward (Figures 2, 6, 20); s.c clearly delimited (Figures 6, 20), running laterally between c 2 , lm, lp, h 2 , h 1 , dp and h 3 , p 3 , p 2 , p 1 . Setae c 3 and la present on h.ap , with conspicuous depressed zone ( s.fu ) lodging the sensillus after leg folding (protection mechanism) (Figure 14) (Fernandez et al 2013); c 3 setae placed beneath the s.fu , while la are placed behind. Cuticular microsculpture: rectangular to polyhedral protuberances are clearly delimited in the anterior zone between d.sj and setae c 1 , c 2 and inwards to s.c (Figures 16, 20).…”

The family Lohmanniidae (Acari, Oribatida) II: two new Oribatid mites, Meristacarus perikopesis sp. n. from Costa Rica and Torpacarus eidikoterai sp. n. from Kenya

“…Travé andVachon 1975; Norton and Behan-Pelletier (in Krantz and Walter 2009); Fernandez et al 2013a, b, c). For setal types Evans 1992:73 and for ornamentation of cuticular surfaces Murley 1951(in Evans op.cit : 9) were used.…”

Two new species of the family Nippobodidae (Acari, Oribatida), including a description of the leg-folding process

“…Travé and Vachon 1975; Norton and Behan-Pelletier 2009; Aoki 1959; 1961; 1965a; 1965b; 1989; Fernandez et al 2013; 2013a, b, c; 2014; Chen and Wang 2007. For setal types Evans (1992: 73) and for ornamentation of cuticular surfaces Murley (1951) were used.…”
